          Hi,

          Yep, it ain't cheap. I paid about $4 for a pint of fork oil in my last Z1 order. It's just enough to fill my forks to the proper level. I remember paying about $12 for a quart in a dealership a couple of years ago.


          Thank you for your indulgence,

            That's about what they charge at Cycle Gear. I needed some a while back and was near one of their stores, so I stopped in (first and last visit). I took it up to the check-out and asked the kid if it was mis-marked. He looked at me like I was from a different planet....

            Cliff....at 4 bucks a pint, you only paid half as much as he did.

              It was a local dealer here. I was so shocked that I just paid it. I felt like a zombie. $16 for one quart of fork oil. $20 and do I have a problem with that? I'd just walk away and figure out something else is all. If I could. This economy sucks.

                        What's wrong with $2.00 ATF?

                            Ah, the price of needing it NOW. My last quart of fork oil was $6, or free when you consider it got me over $75 and earned me free shipping

                              The 50/50 ATF and 30 weight isnt a home brew recipe..its specifically stated right in the service manual for my 78 750E. It is Suzukis own recipe, so if it good enough for them its CHEAP enough for me...LOL.
